What reaction will take place if h2o is added to a mixture of nanh2/nh3? draw the products of the reaction (without sodium ion)?
1 answer:
When sodium amide i.e. reacts with water i.e.
results in the formation of sodium hydroxide i.e.
and ammonia
.
The chemical reaction is given by:
Now, when ammonia i.e. reacts with water results in the formation of ammonium hydroxide i.e.
The chemical reaction is given by:
Thus, the products of the above reactions are ammonia and ammonium hydroxide (without sodium ion).
The structures of the products are shown in figure (1): ammonium hydroxide and figure (2) ammonia.

The Lewis structure the student drew is incorrect. The total number of electrons in bonds and lone pairs is equal to the total number of valence electrons available, then a valid Lewis structure is produced.
The correct structure is the following:
The structure that was drawn by the student was incorrect because the total number of electrons around Oxygen were incorrect, there were 6 instead of 8, which was against the octet rule. The correct structure should have 8 electrons around each atom.
